Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Reductions

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) are effective in reducing the portosystemic gradient and relieving complications of portal hypertension. Despite optimal patient selection, TIPS placement can be limited due to worsening hepatic encephalopathy and liver failure. In these cases, TIPS reduction may be necessary. A brief history of TIPS reduction and techniques for reduction are reviewed.
